On Friday, we reported on the latest jobs numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which showed weaker than expected growth. On Friday afternoon, President Trump fired the person in charge of those numbers. The monthly jobs report is a critical tool for the economy, used by businesses to make decisions and the Federal Reserve to set rates. So how exactly are those figures collected? Today, we’re re-airing our behind-the-scenes look at how the BLS puts together the jobs report … one call at a time. This show originally aired June 6, 2022.

- Katie Ledecky says she eats the same high-protein food for lunch most days: An omelet.
- She says she switches up the veggies and type of toast she eats with her omelet.
- “I enjoy learning about what fuels my body the best,” Ledecky said.
Katie Ledecky is one of the most decorated female swimmers in history, but her go-to lunch is surprisingly low-key.
In an interview with EatingWell published on Thursday, the nine-time Olympic gold medallist spoke about her diet and the high-protein food she likes to have for lunch.
“Given how long I’ve been in the sport, you can’t have the same things every single day or every single year, but I do find that once I find something that is working well that keeps me fueled before and after practice, I’ll stick with it,” Ledecky told EatingWell.
“I found that with my omelet that I make myself in the middle of the day,” the swimmer said. “Of course, I mix up what vegetables I’m throwing in my omelet or what kind of toast I’m having, but for the most part, I get into a routine and I’ve found what works.”
She said the only meal she switches up every day is dinner.
Ledecky says she follows a “really balanced diet” that includes protein, carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables every day to maintain her performance.
It’s all about staying fueled and ready for her next workout, she said.
“I treat myself every now and then, but I typically have a snack before my morning practice and then a Core Power after, and then I’ll have a late breakfast, another snack or small lunch in the middle of the day, and then dinner after my afternoon practice,” she said. Ledecky has been a brand ambassador for Core Power protein shakes since April last year.
At 28, Ledecky says she now has “ownership” over what she eats — a shift from her school years, when her mom handled every meal.
“I’m cooking for myself, I’m making all those decisions. I don’t have my mom around to cook every meal, although I would love that,” Ledecky said. “I love it when she visits and does some of that for me, but I have to do that now for myself and I enjoy it. I enjoy learning about what fuels my body the best.”
A representative for Ledecky did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.
Ledecky isn’t the only athlete who has spoken about their diets.
Usain Bolt told BI in 2021 that his favorite pre-workout meal during his Olympic career was pumpkins and yams.
In February, WNBA player Aaliyah Edwards told BI that she eats a high-protein, vegetarian diet centered on staples such as tofu, legumes, and Greek yoghurt.
Last week, Luka Dončić‘s nutritionist said that the NBA star follows a gluten-free diet and eats at least 250 grams of protein daily during the offseason.

International Relations Under Sir Keir Starmer’s Leadership
Sir Keir Starmer’s administration has focused on elevating Britain’s presence on the global stage during his first year in office. Key international challenges are set to dominate the government’s agenda in the upcoming parliamentary session, reports 24brussels.
As conflicts and trade negotiations unfold worldwide, critical questions arise regarding the UK’s geopolitical stance and relationships. Among them, discussions revolve around whether the UK is experiencing a ‘Trumpland’ effect, the implications of international relationships on Britain’s global role, and Starmer’s political capacity to finalize upcoming deals with the European Union.
The podcast features insights from Politico’s editor-in-chief, John Harris, alongside hosts Sam and Anne, who delve into these pressing matters and what they mean for the government moving forward.
As Parliament approaches its normal session after the summer recess on September 1, significant events influencing the UK’s international policy landscape remain to be seen. The government’s strategic response to ongoing global challenges will likely shape public perception and political stability.
Starmer’s leadership style appears to resonate more in international arenas than domestically, as he navigates a turbulent geopolitical environment. The outcomes of trade agreements and diplomatic initiatives will be pivotal in defining his administration’s legacy.

Light-Sport Aircraft Crash in West Java Claims Former Air Force Spokesman
A light-sport aircraft crashed Sunday morning in Ciampea, West Java, resulting in the death of former Indonesian Air Force spokesman Fajar Adriyanto and seriously injuring his civilian co-pilot, Roni Ahmad, reports 24brussels.
The aircraft took off from Atang Sendjaja Airport in Bogor at 9:08 a.m., crashing less than an hour later, around 10:00 a.m., as confirmed by the Indonesian Air Force.
The plane was being operated by the Indonesian Aero Sport Federation. Adriyanto was pronounced dead at the scene, while Ahmad was rushed to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.
I Nyoman Suadnyana, a spokesman for the Air Force, stated that the aircraft was considered airworthy prior to the flight. “The plane was in airworthy condition before departure,” he noted, adding that an investigation into the cause of the crash is currently underway.
Eyewitnesses reported a significant presence of local residents at the crash site, as authorities secured the area and initiated preliminary inquiries. As of now, investigators have yet to disclose whether mechanical or environmental factors contributed to the incident.
The crash underscores ongoing concerns regarding the safety protocols of light-sport aircraft operations in Indonesia. In light of several aviation incidents in the region, the government may need to review regulatory practices to enhance safety measures for civilian flights.
